the four victims. whenever the target phones would bounce off a cell tower, if the heuermann personal phone bounced off a tower, it was always consistent and in close proximity with the target phones. >> reporter: prosecutors say heuermann was keeping tabs on them, using those phones to make more than 200 searches about the investigation. detectives say another clue came from pizza crust taken from the garbage, matching dna profiles from hair samples taken from the victims. today, this youtube video from more than a year ago resurfacing, of heuermann discussing his firm. >> okay. rex heuearmann. i'm an architect. i'm an architectural consultant. i'm the troubleshooter. born and raised on long island. >> reporter: tonight, neighbors filling the streets around his house, shocked to learn the suspected serial killer lived

so for them to pinch pennies, for them to not want to share the wealth is really problematic. >> reporter: the association representing studios and streamers saying they offered the actors historic pay and residual increases and protections for actors' digital likenesses from ai, but that their offer was rejected. the last time the actors went on strike, it was 1980 and it lasted for three months. we're already starting to see ripple effects. actors walking out on their own premiers. networks say they'll run reality shows and reruns in the fall. l.a.'s mayor karen bass urging both sides to get back to the negotiating table. she's concerned about the economic impact of the strike. >> matt gutman on this again tonight, thank you, matt. tonight the war in ukraine, the first cluster munitions arriving on the front line. 500 days into this war now, what our james longman witnessed on the front lines.

[ speaking in a non-english language ]

seven months, he says. and how much longer can you fight? "until we win," he says. "what else would all this be for?" >> james longman with us from ukraine tonight. those images a reminder of the toll of war. we have been saying it all week, more than 500 days in now, and that ukrainian field hospital filled with casualties. >> the medics surprised how fast the injured seemed to be coming in and stretchers needed to be cleared to make way for the next casualty. all the time, everyone working there under the threat they could be targeted, too. >> thanks, james, and to the team in ukraine tonight. meantime, back here in the u.s. and president biden tonight canceling $39 billion in student debt for more than 800,000 borrowers. who this includes -- let's get to elizabeth schulze in washington with the latest. elizabeth? >> this new policy will affect some 800,000 americans.
